Is Kratom Legal in Missouri? State Law & Local Bans

Last updated: July 2026 · Written by the Kingdom Kratom team

Quick answer: Yes — kratom is legal statewide in Missouri. There's no statewide ban or dedicated Kratom Consumer Protection Act. However, Kansas City passed a 2026 ordinance banning 7-OH and restricting kratom sales, and a statewide 7-OH bill was introduced (not enacted) — so local rules matter here.

Is kratom legal in Missouri right now?

Yes, at the state level. Missouri has no statewide kratom statute, so it's legal and largely unregulated. Two developments are worth knowing: Kansas City passed a 2026 ordinance banning 7-OH and restricting kratom sales within the city, and a statewide bill (SB 1605) to schedule 7-OH was introduced in April 2026 but not enacted. Check your local city rules before buying.

The DEA's July 2026 7-OH decision (national context)

On July 1, 2026, the DEA filed its intent to temporarily place concentrated and synthetic 7-OH into Schedule I, plus three related lab-made compounds (mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, MGM-15, and MGM-16). The DEA said the action does not apply to natural kratom leaf below roughly 0.05% 7-OH by dry weight. Natural leaf remains legal federally and statewide in Missouri.
